Being new to street riding and after 45 years riding dirt. I was wondering how low of tire pressure is safe? I ask because recommended pressures by the manufacturer is not even close to what I run for optimal handling on dirt.
I was talking to a friend that is much more experienced on the street than I am and said that I could run lower pressures. I lowered the pressure to 30 psi in front and rear tires for the ride today and I noticed a big improvement in ride comfort and handling. It was better in strong cross winds as well. Even if the tires wear faster it will be worth it for the improvement.
